VEIL PULLED.

UNICORNS:after lots of time and a COUPLEGLIMPSES, i've completed my project. in the illustration elective i took this semester, we were required to create a book. the book i chose to create is called UNICORNS HAVING FUN. i've always thought unicorns were a slightly underexploited, humorous creature.

FLEETING AND FEEDING.

SCHOOL WORK:for my connections through color and design course, we took a trip to a local elementary school and took information on the children and their surroundings. after our visit, we were presented with the challenge of creating a poster that relates to the children. i chose to create a graph that represented the colors found within their room in relation to size and surface area of the objects.

THE GRAPH:

FLOATING:

PROJECT:a while back, i mentioned a project and was sparse on details. well.... for the most part, the project is completed. i've got a few more finishing touches to put on the project.

STRAWBERRIES IN THE ALMOST SUMMERTIME.SECTION N:

THE STORY:for the form and space course, we were given the project to create an extension of the body using the knowledge we had acquired from past projects. i chose to do an extension of the tongue, which you can see is the third from the top left.OUCH:VIEWER DODGER:GETTY GOING:

THE STORY:mike and i explored the GETTY MUSEUM for a modern art history paper. the complex is absolutely breathtaking. i didn't get to spend as much time as i'd like, but i hope to return someday soon to explore a little more thoroughly.

the show was primarily to debut bjork's new 3D video for her song, wanderlust, but i had many other reasons for going. primarily, geoff mcfetridge was screening a piece and i presumed he might talk following.

i ask out of class early and picked up my good friend, jamie. we got there right before 7, and came to see a line of about 400 people. i knew i had rsvp'd, but i wasn't sure if it would do anything.

flux really messed up the seating situation though. i understand rsvp doesn't mean getting a seat, but they should only reply to the first 100 to tell them they received a seat. the rest should be first come first serve.

eh, yeah... i was frustrated. oh well. if i could have gotten there earlier, i would have.

the video took almost a year to do make and finish,i believe. you won't see something this polished again for a long time. elaborate music videos have really gone into a recession. this is absolutely beautiful though.
